Description

FastNoise is an open source noise generation library with a large collection of different noise algorithms.

FastNoise home page and its documentation https://github.com/Auburns/FastNoise/wiki

Features

  • Value Noise 2D, 3D

  • Simplex Noise 2D, 3D, 4D
  • Cubic Noise 2D, 3D
  • Gradient Perturb 2D, 3D
  • Multiple fractal options for all of the above
  • Cellular (Voronoi) Noise 2D, 3D
  • White Noise 2D, 3D, 4D
  • Texture generation
  • Array generation

Examples

2D noise

require "FastNoise"
 
local myNoise = Noise.new() -- create FastNoise instance
 
myNoise:setSeed(456) -- set generation seed
myNoise:setFrequency(0.04) -- how coarse the noise output is
myNoise:setInterp(Noise.HERMITE) -- set noise interpolation type
myNoise:setNoiseType(Noise.SIMPLEX) -- set noise type
 
for y = 1, 4 do 
	for x = 1, 4 do 
		local v = myNoise:noise(x, y) -- generate 2D noise
		-- other possible function:
		-- myNoise:noise(x) -- 1D noise
		-- myNoise:noise(x, y, z) -- 3D noise
		-- myNoise:noise2D(x, y) -- true 2D noise
		-- myNoise:noise3D(x, y, z) -- true 3D noise
		-- difference between noise2D(x, y) and noise(x, y) is that "noise" function uses 3D noise with 
		-- x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 by default where noise2D uses only 2 values. In other words: noise(x) == noise(x,0,0);  
		-- noise(x, y) == noise(x,y,0); noise(x,y) == noise2D(x,y); noise(x,y,z) == noise3D(x,y,z)
		print(v)
	end
end

Grayscaled noise image

require "FastNoise"

local n = Noise.new() 
-- generate 128x128 texture with filtering
local tex = n:getTexture(128, 128, true)
-- add it to scene
stage:addChild(Bitmap.new(tex))

Colored seamless noise image

require "FastNoise"

local n = Noise.new() 
n:setFrequency(0.03)
n:setFractalOctaves(5)
n:setFractalLacunarity(2.5)
n:setInterp(Noise.HERMITE)
n:setFractalGain(0.6)
n:setNoiseType(Noise.SIMPLEX_FRACTAL)
-- set a color table used by noise
-- first value - height (number), must be in range [0..1]
-- second value - color (number) in hex format
-- third value - alpha (number), must be in range [0..1] (optional, default - 1)
n:setColorLookup{
	{0.3, 0x4b3c37, 1},
	{0.4, 0xffffff, 1},
	{0.45, 0x5c443d, 1},
	{0.55, 0x3f6a14, 1},
	{0.6, 0x589718, 1},
	{0.7, 0x3666c6, 1},
	{0.9, 0xd1d080, 1},
	{1, 0x3463c3, 1},
}
-- generate 128x128 texture
local tex = n:getTileTexture(128, 128, false, {wrap=Texture.REPEAT})
-- add it to scene
stage:addChild(Pixel.new(tex, 256,256))

Some 3D examples here.

Plus Particles flow field.
